Such an animation develops a better understanding of the process and streamlines finding the best path for the mobile crane movements to avoid collisions. A significant step in the pre-construction and construction phase of an industrial project is creating the 4D animation of lift processes.
Hence, automating this process is a great step in saving time, and reducing the percentage of errors, having the practitioner focus on lift planning rather than tedious tasks. However, preparing these lift studies can be time-consuming. We are glad to have taken part in this project and are always looking forward to a new record-breaking challenge.Developing heavy-lift studies is a vital task in heavy congested industrial projects such as modular projects where it is necessary to lift modules with mobile cranes.
?Nevertheless, the hard preparatory work of our engineering team and the professional actions of the crew on the field, made it a success story. ?We?ve had experiences with multi-lift operations up to 11 cranes that involved pipelines up to 250 m, but lifting a 14-section pipe with joints was new to us,? explained Yves Smets, Account and Project Manager, Aertessen Kranen.
The 14 Grove cranes selected for the lift are all from the all-terrain range: seven GMK3055s, three GMK4080s, two GMK5095s, and two GMK5130-2s. Eight supervisors watched over the lift to ensure the project went smoothly.Īertssen Kranen is an extensive buyer of Grove mobile cranes and has a close working relationship with BLE, the dealer for both Grove mobile cranes and Potain self-erecting cranes in Belgium. Each crane lifted a 6.1 t section of the pipe positioned on its own pontoon, floating in the port. The cranes lifted the pipeline for temporary placement over the waters of the Port of Antwerp in Belgium, a stretch of pipe typically used to carry sludge to the plant. Aertssen Kranen completed one of the most visually striking lifts in recent history, employing 14 Grove cranes to simultaneously lift a massive pipeline for an industrial plant project in Antwerp, Belgium.
